1. Random Experiments

Random experiments are fundamental processes in engineering and applied sciences characterized by uncertain outcomes. They form the basis for probability theory, crucial for modeling real-world systems and applications such as heat flow and fluid dynamics. Understanding these experiments leads to a solid grasp of events and their types, operations on events, and their connection to probability, which is vital for solving complex engineering problems.
